  • The submission has not been previously published, nor it is under consideration for another journal (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single or double spaced; uses a 10 or 12 point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed at the end of the text or in separate files. For inclusion within the text, figures, tables, and illustrations should be no wider than 3 inches.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

Papers containing original research and material will be considered for acceptance if it has not been previously published elsewhere and has not been sent for consideration to another journal.

Authors of any type of article submitted to the journal should follow the general instructions given below.

AUTHORSHIP

To be included as an author of a paper, research contributions should include: (1) significant involvement in the conception and design of the research conducted or analysis and interpretation of the data; (2) drafting portions of the article or making critical revisions of content; and (3) final approval of the paper to be published.

There should be at least one person’s name accompanying a group submission (for example, A. Author for Research Group at Nazarbayev University). If there is a change in authorship after submitting, it must be approved in writing by all authors.

ELECTRONIC FILES AND FIGURES

Papers should be submitted in a Word file (.doc or .docx) if possible to simplify the editing and publishing process. Text may be single or double spaced and should be in 10 or 12 point font. References should be included at the end of your paper. Your submission should also include a title page as the first page of your paper, containing the name and affiliation/institution of each author and the contact information of the corresponding author.

Figures, pictures, and tables should be included either in your document after your references or in separate files. Each figure, picture, or table should be on its own page, with the legend included in text on that same page and not in the figure itself. Since the journal template has two columns, figure and tables that do not fit in a single column will not be included in the text but will be included at the end of the document.

There is a limit of a total of five figures and tables.

We will convert your submission into HTML and PDF formats when publishing.

ABSTRACT

Please provide an abstract of your paper before the body of your paper. This abstract should be no more than 300 words, and in the form of a structured abstract if possible. A structured abstract is broken into sections, with the common example broken into four sections: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
